Aa iioa amelter is tbe aext big

a reporter of Tbe Mall by O H
Johnsen, a Portland capitalist, loch
a plant will be ettablthed oa th Iron

th foal question I settled. And
th eoal mine 1 expeoted to nettle
that soon. Mr. Jonnson baa been
watching the development in the
matter of the mine for eom time
and aa they team to be working out
aatitfotorily. Mr Johnson oamt
down from Portland to loox over tbe
rituation.
"Last week," aald Mr. -dohnton,
"a friend of mine was here from
Portland with a party oroogbt bore

so. A plant such a ws xpet oars

Th grocers of Medford are oonsld
ring th advisability of placing
their trad npon a cash basis, bailee-
ng It to be tbe beet plan for their
ouatomere and themselves. Tbe
move will not be mad without
notice of at least alxty daya to that
the oustomer will bv aa opportun
ity to adjust themselves to tbe new
basis.
In a city of this size the grocers
who grant a liberal oredit oairy
thousands of dollars on their booka
and hlgner prions are of a neceaalty
charged for gooda In order to meet
tbe Interest oo the money the gro-
oert are forued to borrow to oarry
on their business. If cash Is paid
for goods It does away with this In
terast end tbe grocer oan afford to
sell oommodltlea at a lower price, '
The consumer, who nnder exist
ing conditions boys more than he
would if oash were paid, would aave
on his grocery bill from mouth to
month and would doubtless bs pless-
ed with tbe arrangement after a few
month when be has become aocus-
tomed to piylna caab.
To grocer ar not as yet alt of
one mind on th matter bat It Is
expeoted that they will be able to
agree soon.
"They Have the Staff."

upon tbi point. But certain It
la tbat be visited Medford purposely
to Inspect tne mine.
"I am aatlaUed," aald Mr. MoDon
